New Shorts

I was needing some encouragement to continue running, so I bought myself a new pair of running shorts. So, here I am complete in my gear, including my pedometer and stopwatch. And of course, a visor to keep the early morning sun out of my eyes and still let any heat escape through my hair.
This week is an easy recovery week or so it says on the schedule. I ran 3 min, walked 2 min, 8x. But there wasn't anything easy about it; I'm still adjusting to the elevation increase from sea level. My breathing is still a bit labored, but I know it will become easier with time.
I think that my left heal is bruised because it hurts whenever I run and sporadically on my days off.
